Oh my god, Ben fucking Kingsley! All you haters out there might recall that Sacha Baron Cohen is kind of a genius. Not saying for sure, but this movie may have a shot.

Thank you...blechhhhhhhhhhhhhhh>> ^spoco2:

Looks fricken terrible.

I agree with Rachel Maddow, there is no way Herman Cain is NOT a performance artist


That Sacha Baron Cohen. He really had me going this time.

This guy poses as various characters, most famously a pimp and a telephone repairman, in order to try and get embarrassing footage of liberals. He's kind of a conservative Sasha Baron Cohen minus brains, talent and success. In this ruse, he was posing as a journalism student to try and get some professor in trouble. His cover was blown and the school official refused to condemn the professor in question. >> ^bareboards2:

Not sure how he was "foiled".

Nope. He really got me. I believed it 100%. Poe's law indeed.

And kudos and thanks to the OP and all the commenters to that point who kept the ruse going. What a brilliantly conceived and executed stunt.>> ^arghness:

This interviewer is an asshat. He should never have pressed Cohen to break character. Weak sauce.

You realise it's not really Cohen? Maybe you forgot the sarcasm checkbox?

No, Monckton is definitely a real person, even though I would have liked it better if he had just been a character.

Poe's Law in action.

Wait, so this isn't Cohen? I thought it was, that the parody tag was because Cohen was parodying climate change deniers, but apparently this is a real guy and this is parodying Cohen's parodies. Right?

Empathy
Simon Baron-Cohen proposes that evil can be is more

by negative parental and societal factors, with a genetic
component.
